Sean Diddy Combs has been found not guilty of sex trafficking his ex girlfriends through a decades long criminal enterprise. He was convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution.
A jury cleared Combs 55, of three out of five federal charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
The verdict is a partial victory for the music mogul, who has spent 10 months in federal prison vehemently denying the allegations.
As the verdict was handed down, the rapper turned to face his supporters, who clapped and cheered. Combs then knelt down in front of his chair and lowered his head.
Following the verdicts, Combs defence lawyer has asked that the rapper be realised on bail. In light of the fact that Mr Combs is no longer charged with sex trafficking... he should be released, Marc Agnifilo said.

The lawyer of Cassie Ventura, an R&B singer and Combs former girlfriend who testified in court, responded to the verdict by saying her testimony had paved the way for him to be found guilty on two counts.
A jury of eight men and four women have sat through weeks of disturbing testimony describing alleged brazen and brutal beatings carried out by a man so powerful he was deemed untouchable.
As he left the courtroom, Combs turned to face his family and said: I'll be home soon. He added: I love you, baby and, I love you, Mom
The man who once called himself the king had his throne reduced to a chair at the defence table in the Lower Manhattan federal courtroom. During his 10 months at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, his previously dyed black hair and beard had grown out and turned white.
His prison issued jumpers a far cry from the black suit adorned with 600 Swarovski crystals and matching cape he wore in 2023.

The only members of his once abundant entourage to show up in support of Combs in court were his family save for a brief appearance from Kanye West, who himself has suffered a public fall from grace.

Packed into the courts front rows, his mother and six of his seven children sat in the courtroom adorned in designer clothing while Combs blew them kisses from the defence table.
The rapper was born in Harlem, New York, in 1969 to Janice, a kindergarten teacher, and Melvin, a drug dealer. His father was shot dead in his car in 1972
Once the epitome of glamour and excess, Combs, who was known at times as Puff Daddy, Puffy, P Diddy, Diddy, and Love, appeared a shadow of his former self in court.
